AII amacrine cells: quantitative reconstruction and morphometric analysis of electrophysiologically identified cells in live rat retinal slices imaged with multi-photon excitation microscopy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02)AII amacrine cells have been found in all mammalian retinas examined and play an important role for visual processing under both scotopic and photopic conditions. Whereas ultrastructural investigations have provided a ... -
AMPA receptors at ribbon synapses in the mammalian retina: kinetic models and molecular identity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)In chemical synapses, neurotransmitter molecules released from presynaptic vesicles activate populations of postsynaptic receptors that vary in functional properties depending on their subunit composition. Differential ... -
Electrical synapses between AII amacrine cells in the retina: Function and modulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Adaptation enables the visual system to operate across a large range of background light intensities. There is evidence that one component of this adaptation is mediated by modulation of gap junctions functioning as ... -
Electrotonic signal processing in AII amacrine cells: compartmental models and passive membrane properties for a gap junction-coupled retinal neuron
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09)Amacrine cells are critical for processing of visual signals, but little is known about their electrotonic structure and passive membrane properties. AII amacrine cells are multifunctional interneurons in the mammalian ...
